His own fear of losing that zero drove his peerless work ethic, and his fame built with each successive win. You don't rack up stats like that if you are not a formidable talent, regardless of the wider record. Clearly, then, a 49-0 record built in Thailand does not put Wanheng anywhere near the likes of Mayweather, Marciano, Chavez and Pep in quality terms. Unlike Mayweather v McGregor last year, this is a real fight and not merely a ceremonial exercise to get one man past the 50-0 post. A win over Estrada will arguably be worth more to Wanheng than a dozen or more of his "keeping busy" bouts.
